NOW CLOSED: Competition: What's the least romantic gift you've received?

Least romantic gift my husband brought me was a washboard so I could take part in his skiffle band the 6-5 specials.but I don,t mind as I,ve enjoyed scraping out a beat on it and adding hooters,bells,etc to it.i even took it on 'deal or no deal' when I played my game last year.so every cloud and all that.pam davies

About 25 years ago my husband bought me an epilator because one day I'd made a throwaway remark about hating shaving my legs. It was state of the art technology for the time but agony to use. I battled on with it a couple of times and when he asked how I was enjoying using it, suggested we have a go on his legs.... I've been using disposable razors ever since!

It was a large box,beautifully wrapped, (my husband always gets my daughter to wrap for him ).I was so excited to see what it could possibly be,I eagerly ripped of the ribbons and wrapping paper and found.....a paper shredder !As he pointed out,it WAS an electric one not one that you had to turn a handle.Disappointed doesn't even come close,however,that never happened again,my daughters saw to that x

Some years ago a female friend received a set of drain rods from her husband who was quite proud of the fact that earlier in the year she had said they needed some and he had rembered

the same book that I got for christmas!

The least romantic present I have received was a new pedal bin.

This year I arranged delivery of a dòzen yellow roses to my husband....his favourite.
Hes given me a good value of an Amazon Voucher as Ive now started dowloading
audible books. Some other years we wouldnt bother. We tend to buy what

When first married for Valentine's Day I received a Vyleda mop and bucket. My husband pointed out it was red to match our kitchen. I suppose it was an appropriate Valentine colour!

I think some socks!

My least romantic gift was a scarf. I never ever ever wear them :/

On our 25th anniversary, my husband gave me a small box of Roses. He had bought two because the 2nd one was half price. He kept the other!

I got a kettle once - not impressed

One Valentine's present from my DH was a pair of wellyboots! They weren't even pink and trendy but boring blue. Oddly enough, I loved them and had great fun jumping in puddles and finding my inner child.

A crochet pink bed jacket

A ticket to go and see his favourote football team . I dont like football

A dart board!! I was quite happy with it though!

A Christmas present of a plastic Tea Caddy - it was horrible

A vegetable steamer, hes so lucky i never hit him with it

My worst present was a large bo of Pink Marigold gloves after I refused to buy my wife a dishwasher

My ex gave me a lava lamp! I hated them too so tacky

a pair of divining rods,perhaps to divine their love?

The only time I received a Valentines gift, was when I was in hospital & the nurses shamed my husband into it.

After 43 years of marriage we do not bother much with presents for each other. We prefer to give presents to our grandchildren, as that gives us lots of pleasure.

Having said that my husband found a box of Quality Street which we had forgotton about & so I have laid my claim to it. Also we are going out to a posh hotel tomorrow for a Sunday lunch.

Hubby once gave me a tin of chopped tomatoes ! x

My husband offered to pay for my root canal treatment for my birthday last year... ?
